JPjuice23 Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's the AA in Atari Age, without the middle line part to be fancy, but I'm not completely sure >_> I'm making an animation using the logo, and I'd like to know what the logo represents, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

potatohead Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 +1 here too. Good call. Seriously, it's just a stylized representation of "Atari Age". Maybe I can make Al chuckle... So, the circle, being somewhat close to the core glyphs in the center represents holistic, and community and closeness. A larger circle would have diminished the impression of closeness, and a broken one could be taken as a more open scene, or not community at all. There is a strong case for clannishness, in that circle as well... The thickness is just enough to communicate some passion and strength. Commitment is what a thicker line generally means, right along with passion, boldness, and clarity. A thinner line would have been seen as weak, where too thick of one is boorish, and deffo clannish, maybe even regressive. Good call on the line width Al. Glyphs pointing up and to the left, building on one another suggest activity, and the product of community adding value. They do point left, suggesting a distinct air of tolerance too. It is about Atari, but not all about Atari... Leaving out the cross bar for the letter "A", communicates a style and bit of flair too. It's not just your average forum, but one that's as distinctive as the glyphs are. Good enough, OP? ...or, shall I continue? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RevEng Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Its a little know fact that the AA symbol is actually two stick-people viewed from behind, one hunched over the other in a lewd act. The original logo had much more detail, but Al Gore said he was going to remove AtariAge from the Internet if Albert didn't clean up his act. Needless to say, he caved and redesigned the logo. I miss the old logo. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 The AA logo is pretty dirty. One upside-down V is kind of inside another upside-down V. If the bottom upside-down V is a tongue, you can guess what it's licking. I'll give you a hint. It starts with a V. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPjuice23 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Sucks, it sort of ruined this video I made, but I still made it regardless. I was going to replace the >> with an atari joystick, but I decided against it. Anyways, here's the animation. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
